We are fellow business owners with multiple exits under our belts. When selling our own businesses, we saw first hand why so many M&A processes fail and how the M&A process was not designed to maximize the sale of each company. So at Exitwise, we designed a better M&A process for all our fellow business owners to create the exits they deserve.
"We built Exitwise to help every business owner create the exit they deserve."
"If you need brain surgery, who do you call? Your family doctor or the best Neurosurgeon you can find? Selling your company is no different."
"If you're going to sell for less than $5M, you can sell on your own. Just know that you will leave money on the table just like I did."

"If you're going to sell for less than $5M, you can sell on your own. Just know that you will leave money on the table just like I did."
I have been very fortunate to have built and sold several businesses over the last 20 years. Like many of you, I know the ups and downs of building a business and the sacrifices that you and your families have made to get to where you are today.
Although I built my companies alongside many great co-founders, employees and investors, when it came time to sell each business, I was largely on my own to figure out the exit process.
Through these M&A experiences, I’ve learned what it takes to not only maximize the sale of a business, but I’ve also learned how to structure agreements with the right buyers to allow business owners to benefit from the continued growth of their business while allowing existing employees to thrive under new ownership.
For the last 5 years, I’ve dedicated my time to helping my fellow founders succeed in the M&A process. By assembling the best teams of industry specialized, M&A experts from around the world for each business owner, we’ve created some fantastic exits. Although helping sell one company at a time has been very rewarding and I’ve made life-long friendships, in the back of my mind I always knew that I had to find a way to make the M&A process more successful for as many business owners as possible.
Since so many of you will be in the position of selling your businesses over the next few years, my partners and I created Exitwise.com to share the lessons we’ve learned and the process we’ve built to help as many of our fellow founders as possible create the exits they deserve.
Please read our blog articles, listen to our former clients and schedule a time to chat with us to learn what a difference our M&A process can really make. Then, if you decide you would like our help, we’ll consider it a true honor to help you complete your entrepreneurial journey.
